"By offering innovative mobile and wireless monitoring solutions we are enabling people on the move to get all the benefits of telemedicine and telecare technologies, enjoy their lives and save costs", explained David Rubin, Aerotel CEO. "Aerotel's mobile solutions offer significant clinical and economical benefits for patients, families, physicians and administrators.

HeartOne is a handheld single lead mobile trans-telephonic ECG monitor. A new service targeted specifically for children - from newborn to adolescents - is presented as part of the Med-e-Tel educational programme. The service enables children and their parents to easily conduct ECG tests when in need, transmit them via phone lines to the monitoring centre, from which they are transmitted directly to a specialist. The specialist receives alerts of any new reading received, interprets the reading and send his advice to the child's personal doctor. This way the children and their parents enjoy peace of mind, save unnecessary hospital visits, and receive immediate care in case of an emergency.

SKeeper is a wearable emergency alarm and cellular communicator device developed by Israeli Tadiran LifeCare, which was recently acquired by Aerotel. SKeeper enables elderly people, children or lone workers to be in close contacts with their parents or caregivers and get immediate human response in case of need, either from their relatives or from a tele-assistance centre with 24x7 human response. A peace of mind device, SKeeper is attracting interest from both tele-assistance providers and cellular service providers around the world. Later this year, Aerotel plans to launch a GPS-enabled model of SKeeper for tracking and locating of users in case of an emergency.

Mobile-CliniQ is a software-less solution that turns practically any Bluetooth enabled cellular phone into a medical data acquisition and transmission hub. It can connect to various home monitoring devices, such as Aerotel's HeartView Personal handheld 12-lead ECG monitor via Bluetooth. The solution enables easy and effective transmission of clinical information to a remote monitoring centre for interpretation and immediate care. It enables mobile people to get assistance and care from anywhere at anytime, save costs and travel time and reduces anxiety.
